I don&#39;t know if they have been named or contained, but smoke levels in Yakima Valley and area in the foothills west of Yakima are a concern. Seems early but fire season is here. Be safe.

I grew up there. As a kid, I remember waking up and the brown hillside would have turned black overnight. It was not unusual to have &quot;grass fires&quot; on the hillsides on both sides of the valley. Nobody panicked or made a big deal because the town was well buffered. The big difference is that there were no houses on those hills then, and the town was ringed by orchards or irrigated pastures. Those orchards are now houses and there are houses on the hillsides. There is no longer a buffer between town and grassland.

Recent years have seen an increase in spring precipitation in these areas which has helped promote a lusher growth of grass, which usually dries out in the summer. At Wenatchee, for example, spring precipitation (March through May) over the last 13 years has run about 40% more than the long term normal. (Normal 1.89. past 13 year average 2.62, with 10 of the 13 years running above normal).

Isolate elevated convection in the early morning hours, almost every lightning strike started a fire. Over 30 incidents just today alone. Fortunately, tonight’s storms are ironically right over the area you described, away from our dry forests. While lightning can start shrub step fires, they rarely get out of control as oppose to people made.Buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773392812050013355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-84690906945667440122019-07-23T17:55:14.321-07:002019-07-23T17:55:14.321-07:00Research on how to eliminate cheatgrass from the n...Research on how to eliminate cheatgrass from the northwestern drylands has been in progress at WSU for more than thirty years.

The near - future energy demands for reliable, relatively clean and stable cost sources are not in renewables, but in emerging technologies like Thorium. Indonesia has a number of these plants coming online later this year, and it bears watching.
